What I Think

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 13 years old. I believe this film was better than the previous Iron Man 2 (2010) but not as good as Iron Man (2008). My favorite part of the movie is where Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is confronting Loki (Tom Hiddleston) about what he has done and there was so much emotion in their fight between each other. This is my 11th favorite MCU movie as of this date, above Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor: The Dark World (2013) and The Incredible Hulk (2008).
